So who are we? Have we accepted Christ, or are we still pagans? Not only here, but everywhere so-called Christianity, in fact, has nothing to do with faith in God! including Orthodoxy.
A person needs to be in a state of faith, FAITH! Belief that you are attractive to someone, that you are handsome, that someone loves you... this is bad, because religious teachings do not teach bad things ... Thank you, Valery! ..

They hold for about half a minute, and then they take out the resulting figure and consider what awaits in the future. Often, many small wax droplets form in the water, and the large figure does not add up. The answer is simple - no changes are expected in the near future.
Fortune-telling
The ritual was usually timed to coincide with St. Basil's Day, the number of participants - the more, the better. Be sure to prepare a large dish, hence the name - fortune-telling. Instead of dishes, a sieve or a hat was used.

The dish is covered with a handkerchief, gently shaken, and then one item is taken out, at the same time calling the name of one of those present. What will fall out - such is life for the next year.

From January 13 to 14, the New Year is celebrated according to the old style. The tradition of celebrating the old New Year is associated with the Julian calendar, according to which our country lived until 1918. This tradition has not yet died out because Orthodox Church did not switch to the Gregorian calendar and celebrates their holidays in the old style.
January 14, according to the old style, is January 1, 2016. The Old New Year is a rare historical phenomenon, an additional holiday that resulted from a change in the chronology.
Due to this discrepancy in calendars, we celebrate two "New Years" - according to the old and new styles.
Thus, on the night of January 13-14, everyone can afford to "complete" their favorite holiday.
Indeed, for many believers, the old New Year has special meaning, since they can celebrate it only after the end of the Advent, BelTA writes.
More and more people treat it as an independent holiday that prolongs the charm of the New Year or allows you to feel this charm for the first time.
After all, this holiday is more peaceful, it is not characterized by the fuss that is an inevitable companion of the New Year.
According to popular belief, fortune-telling for the old New Year is considered the most accurate - on the night of January 13-14, although you can tell fortunes during all Christmas time.
- When fortune telling, observe complete silence, do not talk or laugh.
- You can't cross your arms and legs. This will help, first of all, not to get confused when you need to take an object with a certain hand during the ceremony.
- You need to take off all the things that encircle or bind you, whether it be a ring, bracelet or belt.
- During fortune-telling, a person should not be under the protection of religion, so they must take off their pectoral crosses, and hide icons in the room, mogu.by gives advice.
The people believed that on holy evenings ghosts, goblin, spirits walk the earth. Therefore, this period was considered the most favorable for predictions of fate, in particular marriage.
The most popular among the village youth was the method fortune-telling on different subjects - even or odd. The paired number symbolized a married couple, and the unpaired number symbolized loneliness.
For example, they went out into the yard and gathered firewood. Bringing them into the house, they considered an even or odd number. For the same purpose, boards in the fence were wrapped around. And again, an even number or an odd one meant either a close wedding, or vice versa. By the same principle, the answer to other questions asked is obtained.
Rice divination. Sprinkle rice on a flat surface. Wet your palm with water. Make a wish and place your wet hand on fig. Count how many rice grains stick to your palm: an even number promises the fulfillment of a wish.
Almost everywhere there was such a custom: in the middle of the house they poured a bunch of grains and let peck a rooster, and the remainder was calculated.
An equally common way of divination was eavesdropping under the windows of neighbors' houses. If they talked calmly in the house - a good omen, but if they cursed or argued - life promised to be restless.
You can get help blank sheet of paper. Each girl (2-3 fortunetellers participate) crumples a leaf and sets it on fire on a clean dish. A mound of ash and a residue of burnt paper is formed. With the help of a candle, you should create a projection of shadows on the wall. Looking at the shadows, one can see various pictures, images, symbols, according to which the future is interpreted.
Divination for the betrothed
Divination by threads. Several girls must guess. Everyone is given threads of the same length. Girls take their threads with their left hand at one end, and set fire to the other end at the same time. Whose thread burns out first, she will marry first. Whoever's thread has gone out will have to wait for their wedding for a very long time.
Divination by leaflets with names. Another way to find out the name of the future husband is to write on several small pieces of paper male names and put them under your pillow before going to bed. In the morning, waking up, get the first piece of paper that comes across, what name is written on it - that will be the name of the betrothed.
Divination by matches. Matches will help predict whether a girl is destined to be with her lover. Two matches are inserted on the sides of the matchbox and set on fire. If the burnt heads unite, there is no doubt that the love of the couple will be eternal. If the burnt matches remain in their places or lean in different directions, the hidden couple has no future together.
Can also be placed under the pillow four card kings. At the same time, you need to say: "Who is my betrothed, who is my mummers - that dream in a dream." The betrothed will dream in the form of some kind of king.
Bread and scissors. According to legend, if you put bread and scissors under your pillow before going to bed on the Old New Year, the girl will certainly dream of her betrothed.
Before going to bed, a fortune-telling girl needs eat something salty and never drink water. Going to bed, you need to say: "Narrowed, mummers, come to me and give me a drink." According to legend, whoever comes to get you drunk is the one you will marry.
Should be placed under the bed small bowl of water, and put a small wooden stick on it and say before going to bed: “Betrothed, come and translate me across the bridge.” Whoever in a dream translates the bridge - he will marry him.
In a tub filled with water, the girls lower the wooden marked spoons and chatter the water. Whose spoon moves away from the edge of the tub, that girl will certainly get married this year. They also guess in the name of the future groom.
At midnight the girls go out to the crossroads. Here, each asks the name of the first man she met - it will be the name of the betrothed. By the way, modern girls guess a little differently. At the crossroads they pick up a mobile phone, dial any number, and if the man picked up the phone, they ask for his name, which will presumably be the name of the groom.
Various items are placed in a bowl or saucer, which the fortune-telling girls should pull out in turn without looking. The main condition is that the items must clearly reflect a character trait or quality of life. For example, sugar - a sweet life, a good docile character of the groom, a ring - marriage, a glass - a fun life, a golden ring - wealth.
And here is another way to see the future spouse. Need to comb hair with a clean comb at night and put it under your pillow with a fresh pillowcase. Before going to bed, you should imagine the image of the desired person.
Fortune telling on the betrothed in the mirrors. They put two mirrors: one is large, the other is smaller, facing one another with the front side; the smaller mirror should be closer to the fortuneteller. Two candles are placed between the mirrors and look through the top of the smaller mirror. It turns out a long corridor, little by little darkening in depth. They look into this deep part and after a while they begin to see various objects there, by which they determine the future.
It is better to guess in non-residential premises or in the attic, with loose hair and without a belt. At the beginning of fortune-telling they say: “The betrothed-mummer! Come have dinner with me!" Sooner or later, the betrothed appears in the mirror. Then you need to say: "Chur, me!" The vision will disappear. If you do not have time to do this, the betrothed may jump out of the mirror and then misfortune will occur.
Fortune telling
By the shadows. For the next divination, you will need a sheet of clean paper and a saucer. It is better to sit near a smooth wall on which shadows would be well reflected. You need to focus on an exciting issue and set fire to a crumpled paper sheet in a saucer. The shadow of burning paper displayed on the wall will give the answer.
To see a ring - for a wedding, a flower - for new love and popularity with the opposite sex. The ship portends a business trip or a trip. The cross warns of future illnesses. If a human figure appears, you will soon find true friend, but if you saw a figurine of an animal - be careful, most likely you have an enemy.
Different figures and similarities can be interpreted in different ways and imagination is needed. If you are not alone, then efforts can be combined and can be interpreted together.
They wondered about the future and with the help books. It is best to take a book of spiritual content. Without opening it, you need to guess the page number and the line above or below, open it and read in the indicated place. They interpret what they read, as a rule, in accordance with what the fortuneteller is most interested in - wealth, travel, marriage, health, etc.

If the shoes show with a toe in the opposite direction from the door of the house - they will soon get married, but if the sock shows into the house - you will have to wait a year before getting married.
On a towel. A prophetic dream on the night of the Old New Year will allow you to recognize your betrothed. Prepare a new white towel, a basin of water. Before going to bed, put all the accessories next to the bed. They say aloud: "My betrothed, come. Wash your face with water, wipe yourself with a towel." Whoever comes in a dream, that and be a husband.
On the mirror. One of the most famous divination for the Old New Year. Guessing after midnight, alone in a dark room. Two mirrors are prepared in advance, and one should be larger than the other.

New Year according to the old style is considered a good time for divination. No matter how much humanity has recently learned about the secrets of nature, no matter how many scientists have made amazing discoveries, and the magical processes underlying fortune-telling still remain a mystery. On New Year's Eve, our curious great-grandmothers told fortunes about her betrothed, about desire and about her own destiny. They were sure that divination on this day was especially true. You can also find out what awaits you in the future today using one of the fortune-telling suggestions below.
Conspiracy to true divination
For your fortune-telling to be successful, every time you decide to find out your fate, you need to read a special plot:
"The stars were born in the sky,
The wise men came to the Mother of God.
How true the truth was in their words,
And in their prophetic deeds,
And how they predicted the birth of Jesus,
They called him the Savior of the world,
So that my fortune-telling was truthful and fair.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Now and forever and forever and ever. Amen".
Divination for the Old New Year at home
Has always been popular divination on things. It was carried out in a large company. Girls and guys got together to tell fortunes. They brought with them rings, rings, earrings, cufflinks, brooches, hairpins and other small jewelry and hid them under a pre-prepared dish. Small pieces of bread were also placed there. Dishes were covered with a new towel or cloth napkin. Fortunetellers, without looking, ran their hands under the dishes and took out the first thing that came across. It was believed that the one who was the last to get the decoration from under the dish would soon marry. This person was jokingly congratulated and wedding songs were sung to him.
Then the boys and girls took the ring used in divination and rolled it on the floor in turn. If a girl's ring rolled to the door, then she will soon get married. For a man, a ring that rolled to the door indicated the long road ahead.
Our ancestors loved divination on a shoe. They took off the shoe from the left foot and threw it over the threshold. The fate of the fortune-telling girl was judged by the location of the shoes. Where the shoe lies with its toe, the betrothed lives in that direction. If the thrown shoe points with its toe at the door from which it was thrown, then this indicates that the girl will not marry in the coming year.
In old times divination on bulbs. Each girl taking part in divination put an onion into the water. Then the fortune-tellers watched: whose bulb sprouts first, she will marry before anyone else. With the help of onions, you can still find out which of the gentlemen will become your spouse. If you have several fans and you can't decide who to choose, take onions and write the name of the guy you are interested in on each one. Put the onion in the water. The bulb that sprouts first will point you to the most suitable candidate.
Our great-grandmothers they also guessed on the headdress. They took any headgear (a beret, a knitted hat, etc., the main thing is that it folds easily), a piece of wood and a piece of bread. All this was placed in an empty dish. The girl was blindfolded, led to dishes with items for divination, and she took out the first thing that came to hand. If a headdress is caught, she will soon get married, bread - in the coming year, marriage does not shine for her, a sliver - to a serious illness or even death.
Divination under the window. At midnight, a fortune-telling girl would sit by the window and say: Narrowed-mummers, drive past the window". If after that she hears cheerful laughter or songs, she will be happy and rich. If it is quiet on the street, then her life will be poor and hard.
Divination on the ring, bread and hook. With the help of these items, the girls learned about what their future husband would be like. They were laid on the floor, covered with a towel or handkerchief, and without looking they took out the first object that came to hand:
- bread - the groom will be rich;
- ring - dandy;
- a hook is a poor man (because poor people always bend under the weight of worldly hardships).

Before lighting the candles, put on a buttonless shirt and let your hair down. Curtain the windows and turn on the mirrors.

Divination on thimbles. You will need three thimbles. After 12 o'clock at night, scoop water from a mug with thimbles in turn and put them on different windows. Name each thimble with the name of the person you want to tell fortunes. Check the thimbles in the morning:
- whoever has the most water will live the longest;
- whoever has the least liquid - he will live less than the rest;
- if there is no water left in the thimble, the person will die soon.
Fortune telling on rice. Put rice in a cup, cover it with your hand and say:
"Indicate, fate, what should I expect: good or bad?"
Make a wish and pour the grains on the table, choose all the green ones and count them. If it turned out to be an even number, then the plan will be fulfilled; if not, all hope is in vain.
Interesting to know. The southern peoples do not throw away green rice grains, but put them in the pocket of their children's clothes so that no one offends or jinxes them.
Fortune telling on beans. For divination, you will need 41 pcs. ordinary garden beans. Without counting, divide them into three piles.
Count how many beans are in the first pile. An even number promises good luck in business and prosperity, an odd number promises illness and insult from a loved one.
Next, count the beans in the second pile to get an answer to questions related to school or work. If it worked out odd number, then failures in work are guaranteed. You may even have to change jobs. If the number is even, then the development of events will be successful. Everything will turn out even better than you think.
The third pile represents home and family. An even number indicates that love and mutual understanding reign in your family, nothing bad threatens you and your relatives, but an odd number promises the exact opposite.
